User:Sweyn78

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

My name is Miles Bradley Huff. I live in the United States of America, and am a software developer, linguist, polyglot, and inventor. My hobbies include micronationalism[1], conlanging[2], battlegaming, and videogaming [3].

Most of the edits[4] I make on Wikipedia are simple copyedits; but I once strove to go above-and-beyond with the linguistics articles, since they've given me so much. In doing so, I learned firsthand just how toxic Wikipedia's community is, and have since quit making large edits.
